Thankyou for sharing this memory with us 🥲

I went earlier. Was also not the right time, if that’s any consolation.

My son still misses his 3DS which a very small Miniest poured milk all over. Would replace it if I could. Beats the heck out of the modern day switch device imho.

😮poor little sweet baby 🫂

I love the variety. Day after day of hot, humid and tropical weather would drive me bonkers. I’m just not cut out for it. Kitchen hot is different though.

Same here, it was about 11° when I got up this morning. Mr P gets the shudders if it’s cold and his joints play up.

I’ve decided if we’re going to have that kind of thing then we have to eat it there, seems to be the only way they don’t stuff it up. Too much disappointment for the money spent.

OMG eye twitches

Tonight was a very interesting experiment (and unfortunate lesson). The males of the house wanted Hungry Jacks, but Miniest wanted ravioli. So I ordered the takeout and got to work cooking the ravioli and making a simple Napolitano sauce to go with it. Her ravioli was ready and eaten with dishwasher loaded while the dasher was still waiting for the order. Then when the order arrived it was missing half of the items! Mr P’s burger was soggy and cold and his drink wasn’t cold. Had to reorder and wait again. A lesson that so-called “fast food” ain’t fast at all sometimes, and you’re better off with even a simple thrown together home cooked meal than that garbage.

“Can you turn that down please?”

I second almond. Can still remember my disappointment that it didn’t actually taste like almonds, which I love.

Only 8.2… my mother had a cat that got up to 15.5kg. He was a farm cat, very big frame, big paws and head, probably still the biggest non feral cat I’ve ever seen. But he was very strongly food motivated and an absolute chonker as well. Mum would never listen to anyone about feeding anything. She fed the pets biscuits and chocolate and cakes as well as their normal food, plus they had food out constantly 😠We were one of those households where the mum and dad were fat (actually obese), the kid (me) was fat, the dog was fat, the cat was fat etc. She is solely responsible for my lifelong battle with diet and weight gain and comfort eating (which my parents did in abundance, with mum virtually baking constantly). Pippa (cat) was famous for an incident where the doorbell rang when I’d just pulled a freshly roasted chicken out of the oven. Mum and I went to the door and spoke to the person briefly, and came back to the cat up on the bench scoffing hot chicken like it was his last meal on earth, even though it was steaming hot. He knew we’d be back soon and he was really going for it. I grabbed him and dragged him away and he was actively resisting and grabbing mouthfuls as I pulled and almost dragged the chicken off the bench! Needless to say none of our pets lasted much longer than 10 years 😔 She shortened all of their lifespans considerably. I salute you for caring enough about your pets to actually restrict the food. It’s a pain to enforce and they’re little buggers about it but it’s for their own good.

My homemade burritos 🤤

That’s how I’m coping with my stress levels. Chipping away at odd tasks. That’s my healthy coping mechanism anyway 😂 Later there will be alcohol

I hate to sound like a Grinch but I’ll be glad when Xmas is over. Now that I’m not working I’ve got plenty of time to feel how stressed out I am.

Last day for me, going to finish up cleaning the factory and some of the equipment. The dough rollers and mixers need detailing, boring but necessary.

I heard a pretty lacklustre cover yesterday that I’d have been happy to be ignorant of for the rest of my life.

Edit: on googling I’ve discovered that there are altogether far too many covers of this song!

So hard! I’ve got 3 weeks off after this week and my sleep cycle will probably change just in time for my return to work 😞
